    Factory ammo is or used to be by Hornady federal and Nosler, not sure now you'd have to check.
    Whether it would be easily obtainable here I have no Idea. I have difficulty sourcing 30 06 locally let alone 280Ai .
    Traditionally been a handloading proposition but he may, as above, be able to order a supply in..
    It would be a great cartridge easily capable of the distances he shoots and more.

    I've had a couple of ordinary 280's both lightweights . one Weatherby MK V which was a great shooter [ a forum member still does very well with this one] and one Mountain rifle which had to be worked on to shoot well but was still capable of close to Moa in my hands and probably better in another pair.
    I had to swap to a Timney in the Remington though the Factory x-mark trigger was horrible.
